Spring Pennant Chain with Adhesives Sheets, 3D Foam Butterflies, Die Cutting and Stitching

Posted on February 22, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hello there,

It’s Stephanie here today and I created a banner with fabric die cutting, stitching and adhesives.

My base is canvas pennants, I used the three and lace ribbons to create a spring pennant chain.

And here is the tutorial for you how I made it.

1) First choose different fabrics and adhere each of them on a Adhesives Sheet 4×6″.

2) Then use your die cut machine to cut out three flowers.

3) I decided to add a bit of textile paint onto the pennants to give them a bit of shabby chic. It’s your choice to do this.

4) Then adhere the flower onto the pennant.

5) Add a stitching outline around the flower and also on the middle points. Add a knob.

6) Add some stitching words, phrases.

7) Use 3D Foam Designer Shapes and add Embossing Powder on it. I chose 3D Foam Butterflies and added red, brown and black embossing powder on it. Heat it and let them melt.

8) Find some nice places and add the butterflies here and there.

9) and 10) Use the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ to add a piece of lace or ribbon to hang it on your wall or door.

Thanks for visiting! Have a nice day!

Stephanie 🙂

Celebrate the Day

Posted on February 19, 2015 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, it is Christine here today with a Celebrate the Day card. This could possibly be a birthday or wedding card.

My card measures 5 inches square. Before I matted the patterned paper onto the card base I attached Creative Photo Corners – Gold to each corner, they add that little bit of elegance. I then applied a length of Crafty Power Tape to affix some lace ribbon. E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips holds the entire card front in place.

Additional embellishments are sentiment die cuts held in place with 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular and the flowers are Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms. The tiny hearts also add that little extra! Easily made with 3D Foam Hearts, remove the paper layer and cover with a little embossing powder, heat gently.

Thank you for joining me today, the new lace will be available soon so keep checking back to the website and don’t forget to check out all the other inspirational projects on the Crafty Power Blog.

Whimsy Ribbon Flower Hello Card Tutorial

Posted on February 17, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

I have Spring on my mind as I look out the window to snow…LOL! To brighten up my surroundings, I created a cheerful grouping of flower embellishments to accent the card.

Whimsy Ribbon Flower Hello Card by Margie Higuchi

I took a 4⅛ x 5⅜” card panel and embossed it in a folder. (Tip: lightly mist the cardstock with water for a crisper embossing).

Mix water and Bubble Gum Gelato® color medium together to create a color mist which I sprayed and splattered on the left side of the card panel.

Next I cut in half a 4″ canvas ribbon, adhered together with a DODZ Adhesive Dots Small to create an 8″ ribbon. I rolled it into a flower and secured the end with another DODZ Small. I stuck the bottom to a DODZ Adhesive Dot and set aside to create more ribbon rolled flowers.

This one was created by using lace r. I colored the flower with the leftover Gelato® color mist using a watercolor brush.

3D Foam Leaves were primed with Gesso and colored with a combination of Gelatos® in Green Tea and Spearmint, along with the Stamper’s Big Brush Permanent Olive Green Pen.

Another tip: I used the leftover from the ribbon tail I cut below to create texture in the leaves while the Gelatos® colors were wet. LOVE how it turned out 🙂

Assemble all the pieces with a combination of E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips and Crafty Power Tape to create this sweet card. Here’s a close up look at my flower embellishments 🙂

Recipe Book, Card and Treat Jar Trio

Posted on February 16, 2015 by Beth Pingry

Welcome to Monday! Today I’m sharing my CHA project, a trio that would make a great gift for the foodie in your life.

Recipe Trio by Beth Pingry, book, treat jar and card

Beth Pingry Recipe Book, treat jar and card

First up, the Recipe Book, I used a stencil and paint to make the chevron pattern, the layered with the canvas flag from the pennants set. I stamped onto the blue fabric, then die cut it. Crafty Power Tape secures the canvas pennant to the cover, and Adhesive Sheets 4×6″for the fabric to fabric. Crafty Power Tape also holds the Lace Ribbon at the top edge. Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D hold the buttons. I added glitter to the 3D Foam Heart, 3D Foam Pennants, and swirls and adhered them directly to the canvas. The ribbon ties are stamped canvas.

BethPingry-recipetrio2

For the card, I used Adhesive Sheets on the front of die-cut cardstock to get edge to edge coverage of the glitter. Then I added stamped image with 3D Foam Squares. More glitter for the 3D Foam Heart and swirls!

For the jar, I was just in time to catch the clearance sales of Christmas candy, and the red and white M&M’s were perfect (and delicious peppermint white chocolate!) I covered the top of the jar with the denim colored fabric and Adhesive Sheets, then wrapped lace ribbon around the edge. I folded over the canvas and added a grommet, and then stamped onto it. One more glittered 3D Foam Heart and the project is done!

Thanks for stopping in today!

Gold Foil card using ClearSnap Designer Foils

Posted on February 15, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hello! AJ here with one of my favorite cards to date. If you haven’t noticed, Gold foil is on everything lately!

I got some of Clearsnaps Designer Foils a long while back and just recently dug them out to join in on the FOIL craze happening everywhere.

I love stripes. Stripes are hands down my favorite- they are timeless and can be used for any theme or style project. To start with this project. I placed my card stock on to my work space to make sure it was even. I just laid strips of Crafty Power Tape down, each one butting up to the previous.
When your card stock is fully covered, remove the backing of about 4 strips. Place your foil, (color side up) and press into the tape. You can carefully burnish it with your finger to make it all adhere.Here’s with half done, and the remaining strips left on my foil strip I am using.

Remove the backing from the remaining strips, and repeat. Gently lift up from your work space, and press the ends into the back.

I used Crafty Foam Tape to adhere my panel to my card front.A few close ups of the gold. I just love it paired with the navy.

The Clearsnap brand comes with about 6 or 8 sheets. I still have quite a bit left to play with! Im thinking something for my wall next! 😉

enjoy!
AJ

I’m So Tuned Into You – Valentine Radio Tutorial

Posted on February 14, 2015 by Asia King

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Asia King here and today I would like to share a tutorial for this cute Valentine’s Day card I made for my husband.

My husband loves collecting vintage radios and I have been on a lookout for some related crafty items to make a card for him. I couldn’t find anything suitable so I decided to make my own ‘vintage radio’. I hope this tutorial will inspire you to try it out, too! So let’s begin!

Tuned into you_Asia King1

1. Trim in half a 12×12″ scrapbook paper with a wood design. Trim each piece to 6″ tall and 8″ wide. Score each piece at 4″ length and fold in half. Align each piece with the folded edge closely within the aperture of the largest Round Tag die and die cut. This way each die-cut shape will form two folding ‘pages’.

Apply Adhesive Sheets 4×6″ to the pages and bind them together – this will form a sturdier base for the card. If required, embellish the folds with some washi tape.

Cut an additional single shape for the card front.

Tuned into you_Asia King4

2. Layer Blossom Dies (as shown) and die cut a small aperture in the middle of the front panel. Keep all the cut outs.

Tuned into you_Asia King5

3. Pierce a small hole in the die cut blossom shape, align with a metal clock face and a small clock hand and secure all with a brad.

Tuned into you_Asia King6

4. Cut two pieces of the burlap ribbon, big enough to fit the aperture of the front panel. Dye with Distress Inks and Stains. Allow to dry.

Tuned into you_Asia King7

5. Add some adhesive to the front of the card base with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips and cover with the dyed ribbon.

Tuned into you_Asia King8

6. Cover the element created in step 3 with Adhesive Sheets 4×6″ and layer over the ribbons. Use the die cut front panel from step 2 as a guide for your positioning.

Tuned into you_Asia King9

7. Cover the front panel generously with Boss Gloss and sprinkle with Clear Deep Impressions enamel. Heat with a heat gun. Repeat two more times.

Follow the same steps for the die cut blossom outline created in step 2.

Tuned into you_Asia King10

8. Cover the back of the panel with 3D Foam Squares Black Regular and 3D Foam Squares Black Small and adhere to the base of the card.

Tuned into you_Asia King12

9. Cover the back of the blossom outline with 3D Foam Squares Black Small and fit within the aperture of the front panel.

Tuned into you_Asia King13

10. Stamp the sentiment onto a chalkboard sticker with clear embossing ink and heat emboss in white. Add some chalky finish with chalk pencils.

Tuned into you_Asia King14

11. Attach the sentiment panel to the card with 3D Foam Squares Black Small. Just before you layer it onto the card, gently heat up the clear-embossed area of the front panel where the sentiment will be added. This will help the foam squares adhere to the embossed area.

Tuned into you_Asia King15

12. Adhere a couple of large leather buttons as radio dials with Adhesive Dots 3D. Again, gently heat the enamel before positioning to help ’embed’ the elements.

Tuned into you_Asia King16

13. Cover the tops of 4 small 3D Foam Hearts with Maroon glitter. Create two decorative pins by ‘sandwiching’ dressmaking pins between two hearts stuck together.

Tuned into you_Asia King17

14. Add the pins to the card.

Tuned into you_Asia King2

15. Embellish the card further with a suede twine bow, paper flowers and rub-on numbers for the tuning dial.

A Vintage Valentine Card Tutorial

Posted on February 13, 2015 by Kelly Klapstein

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Ahhhh….the day of love! Have you been making any Valentines? I created a few, and here is one that is a more elegant, vintage design.

I heat embossed a 3D Foam Heart with gold embossing powder onto a die cut piece of black card stock, which is attached to my card base with Gold Creative Photo Corners.

To do this, you need the following supplies: a rubber stamp, gold embossing powder, a heat gun, cardstock, and of course a 3D Foam Heart. You can also do this technique with every 3D Foam Shape because the high density foam can be heat embossed!

Here is a short video tutorial that demonstrates this technique:

I hope you give it a try with your 3D Foam Shapes and impress the ones you love!

Grateful For You – Simple Valentine’s Day Card

Posted on February 11, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa here to share a really simple, but beautiful, Valentine card. Cards like these are just perfect for friends, neighbors, or anyone that you just want to say “thanks” to.

LisaAdametz-Grateful4You-1

1. Scribble watercolor pencils over the watercolor paper (I chose reds and pinks for Valentine’s Day).

2. With a paintbrush, baby wipe, or wet fingers blend the scribbled colors so that they are now watercolors. Either allow to air dry or heat set with heat tool. Set aside.

3. Using different colors of glitter paper, a die-cutting machine, and dies – die-cut 3 hearts.

4. Using stencil with hearts, apply Glass Bead Glitter Gel to one portion of card front very thinly using palette knife. If Gel is applied too thickly it can take a long time to dry. This should NOT be heat set as it will bubble.

LisaAdametz-Grateful4You-4

5. Apply 3D Foam Squares – White, Small to backs of hearts and apply the hearts to the card front.

6. Tear piece of vellum, stamp sentiment in Versamark, heat emboss using white embossing powder. Wrap vellum around card front and secure in back using Crafty Power Tape.

7. Place 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular all over back of card front.

8. Wrap baker’s twine around card front and secure in bow. Using Dodz Small roll in ball and place under bow to secure. Remove backing from 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular and secure to card base.
